Abstract

"Focusing on contestation instead of harmony and consensus, Contested Spaces disturbs the idealized space of Canadian multicultural pluralism to carry literary analysis and cultural studies into spaces often undetected and unforeseen; Contested Spaces exposes geographies of exclusion and difference such as flophouses and "slums," shantytowns and urban alleyways, underground spaces and peep shows, inner city urban parks as experienced by minority ethnics, the poor, women, social activists, Indigenous people, and Francophones in Canada. These essays are the product of sustained and high-level collaboration across French and English academic communities in Canada to facilitate theoretical exchange on the topic of space and contestation, to expose geographies of exclusion, and to generate new spaces of hope in the spirit of pioneering work by Henri Lefebvre, Michel Foucault, Michel de Certeau, Doreen Massey, David Harvey, and other more recent theorists of space."-- "This collection explores strategies of reading space and conflict in Canadian and Quebecois literary and cultural performances. How do literary texts and popular cultural performances produce and contest spatial practices? What is the role of the nation, the city, the community, and the individual subject in reproducing space, even during times of global hegemony and neocolonialism? In what ways do marginalized individuals and communities represent, contest, or appropriate spaces through counter-narratives and expressions of culture from below? And how does space itself shape conflict, counter-memory, and culture from below?"--

Abstract

Wie wirkt sich der aktuelle Islamdiskurs auf Bildungsbiografien junger Secondas aus? Wie beeinflussen unterschiedliche Differenzkategorien wie beispielsweise Gender und Religion die Bildungsbiografien? Und wirken diese Kategorien intersektionell? Nathalie Gasser zeigt auf, wie unterschiedlich junge Secondas aus der Schweiz mit der Herausforderung umgehen, als religiös orientierte muslimische Frauen in einem tendenziell islamkritischen Umfeld bildungsbiografisch zu bestehen. Sie verdeutlicht die bestehenden Bildungsbarrieren samt den unterschiedlichen Taktiken, diese zu umgehen. Auf dieser Grundlage diskutiert sie, inwiefern Religion dabei als intersektionale, interdependente Analysekategorie gefasst werden kann.

Abstract

Was passiert, wenn Texten die Protagonisten abhanden kommen? Das ›Verloren Gehen‹ literarischer Subjekte in den Polargebieten steht im Zentrum von Markus Gottschlings raum- und literaturtheoretischen Überlegungen. Anhand von Romanen Edgar Allan Poes und Christoph Ransmayrs untersucht er erstmals strukturell verwandte Leerstellen in Raumtheorie und Polarliteratur. Er kann damit zeigen, dass sich in den Möglichkeiten und Bedingungen räumlichen Erzählens die methodische Unschärfe räumlicher Theoriebildung spiegelt - etwa bei Deleuze/Guattari oder Certeau. Sie ist zugleich aber Bedingung für ein Erzählen der Absenz: Die ›verloren gegangenen‹ Figuren sind Symbole eines Erzählens, das scheitern muss, um zu neuer Erzählung zu führen.

Abstract

The Heritage Patterns—Representative Models issue of Heritage welcomed twelve articles that discussed traditional and contemporary methodologies, as well as scholars from different backgrounds who intended to seek patterns of tangible heritage and its underlying principles to understand the diversity of heritage approaches. The Special Issue aims to research the patterns in heritage and the underlying rules that define tangible heritage as a universal value in spatial coexistence, economics, urban life, and design via case studies and theoretical proposals that could be implemented in the future. The pattern language and the heritage phenomenon could act as a base of observation to deduct logic and create generative algorithms (generative design); to understand the importance of spatial connection with tangible heritage and urban forms (space syntax, urban morphology, and urban morphometrics) and its visibility; as well as archaeological, architectural, and urban heritage. Based on the UNESCO-ICOMOS doctrines and the examination of morphological regions, urban morphological research and its different layers (urban forms, structural components, built environment, urban tissue, and their interaction) act as a background and foundation for general urban heritage conservation and protection proposals, and also as the base of specific interventions in the built environment caused by natural disasters.
